Hello. Today I have a quick and easy set of four birthday cards. All using Gorjuss girls, the same dies and the same paper pad. I simply wanted to sit and watercolour without having to rack my brain over layouts and what not. So the answer - keep them all the same!

I think the green one is my favourite. Love that sagey shade of green!

Hello. Another one for the Christmas box. The background is a paper from the My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pad 'Sugar Plum'. The gorgeous ted is 'aiming to please' by Penny Black. I used watercolour pencils to colour. The tree is die cut - a Memory Box one (I think).

Hello. Here I am. And I have a fun card to share. The stamp and sentiment is from 'Your Next Stamp' and the papers are 'fun and frolic' by My Favourite Things.

I coloured using Copic marker pens and then sat for at least 20 minutes deciding googly eyes or not! And as you can see it was not! And the reason? The googly eyes were slightly smaller than his 'real' eyes and left an unsightly (sorry) border. Anyone else this fussy?

Hello. You don't get much more quick and simple than this so I made two! The stamp is 'baby washline' by Hobby Art. I coloured using my watercolour pencils. The sentiment is from the 'everyday greetings' set by Mama Elephant.

Hello, monsters taking a selfie. They must be using a stick 'cos I don't think any of them have arms!! The stamps are from the 'silly monsters two' set by Your Next Stamp. I coloured with Copic marker pens. The smile and photo frame die are by Mama Elephant.

Hello, I'm Liz McGuire. I have been designing and making cards for over 10 years, serving on numerous design teams and completing assignments for various papercraft magazines.

Along with my cardmaking I like to try my hand at art journaling, memory keeping, smash books etc. And there is also my new obsession - planners and stationery! So there may be the occasional blog post on these topics.

I do have a real job but that's just to earn enough money to buy paper, stamps, pens and, of course, buttons!
